Uncertainty in crude oil supply and demand is heightened due to Saudi Arabian oil pipeline closure... Government and industry emergency response

Although the introduction volume for September and October has been secured, there are concerns that supply instability may become a reality after November, and the government is considering operating a reserve oil swap system and expanding support for non-Middle East crude oil freight rates.
